Etihad Airways and Avianca Brasil announce codeshare partnership

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, and Avianca Brasil, one of the leading airlines in Latin America, have announced a codeshare partnership.

Under the agreement, Etihad Airways will put its 'EY'
code on domestic flights operated by Avianca Brasil, while Avianca Brasil will
put its 'O6' code on Etihad Airways flights between Abu Dhabi and São Paulo.

“Avianca is an important strategic
partner for Etihad Airways in South America. In addition to the codeshare
agreement recently signed with Avianca Colombia, we are further strengthening
our presence in Brazil by offering our guests more convenience and connections
with a single combined ticket,” said Martin Drew, Senior Vice President –
Americas at Etihad Airways.

“Through its main hub
in Abu Dhabi, Etihad Airways will offer our customers excellent options of
connection flights, especially to destinations in Africa, Asia and Oceania,
where Avianca Brasil doesn’t operate directly. This partnership is important
because it adds even more value to the services we offer our passengers,”
added Frederico Pedreira, President of Avianca Brasil.

Codeshare agreements offer guests countless benefits, such as direct baggage
check-in to their final destination and extra assistance during connections.
Later this year, Etihad Guest members and Avianca Brasil’s
Amigo members will be able to earn and redeem miles on codeshare flights.

Etihad Airways has flown between Abu Dhabi and São Paulo, its first destination
in South America, since June 2013. By the end of 2015 the airline had carried
over 340,000 passengers on the route. Avianca Brasil serves 22 cities in its
home country with over 200 daily flights. In 2015, the carrier transported 8.5
million customers.
